Overview
Communications and Digital Content Assistant – Wales Centre for Public Policy (WCPP) – Sbarc/Spark, Cardiff
Communications and Digital Content Assistant
Wales Centre for Public Policy (WCPP)
The Wales Centre for Public Policy (WCPP) is seeking to recruit an experienced Communications and Digital Content Assistant to support the dissemination of the Centre’s work.
Co-funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and Welsh Government, the Wales Centre for Public Policy bridges the gap between academia and policy makers/practitioners by generating, synthesising and mobilising evidence from research. The Centre has more than 25 full-time staff who are drawn from a range of backgrounds – including academia, the civil service, health service, local government, think tanks, and the voluntary sector. It is a member of the What Works Network, was a finalist in the prestigious ESRC Celebrating Impact Prize, and is recognised internationally for its pioneering, demand-led approach to evidence use, and knowledge mobilisation.
The Centre offers a stimulating and supportive working environment within a highly motivated and collegiate team. You will have access to the wealth of training opportunities provided by Cardiff University. We support hybrid working and other flexible working arrangements but expect staff to work from our offices, in the purpose-built Social Science Research Park (SPARK) located on Cardiff University’s Innovation Campus, at least two days per week.
This role is an exciting opportunity to join the Wales Centre for Public Policy team to create and monitor content across a range of digital channels, with a particular focus on updating and creating content for the Centre’s website and digital newsletters.
The successful candidate will play a key role in supporting overarching WCPP team activities, developing and agreeing content for Welsh Government and public services reports and communications and engagement activity, helping to communicate important information to key partners.
To be successful in this role you will need to be an excellent communicator with strong digital skills, particularly with the use of content management systems and email campaign software. Interpreting complex, technical and sometimes sensitive information, and communicating this to a wide range of audiences, will be fundamental to the delivery of your work.
The post is full-time (35 hours per week) and a fixed term appointment from November 2026 to 31st March 2028.
Salary: £28,592 – £31,861 per annum (Grade 4)
We want to employ people with a wide variety of experiences. We welcome applications from all sections of the community regardless of sex, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, trans identity, relationship status, religion or belief, caring responsibilities, or age. We are particularly seeking applications from candidates who come from backgrounds that are underrepresented at the University, including people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities.
We are looking for a team player who will work with colleagues to provide a great service to WCPP and our key stakeholders. You don’t need to have worked for a university before; this is an opportunity to show your potential and start or continue your career at Cardiff University.
This role may be an opportunity for you to build on your experience from working in a previous administrative role or environment with particular interest in digital communications, showing your transferable skills and aptitude to be successful in the role. You should be enthusiastic about developing your knowledge and skills to become a valued member of the team.
Your application will be assessed against the essential and desirable criteria detailed in the job specification. Please copy and paste this section into a new document and give clear examples of how you can evidence meeting each of the criteria by writing under each one. You can draw on elements from any aspect of your life (e.g. work, home, education/qualifications or community life) as long as you focus on their relevance to the role.
Please save your supporting statement in a separate document with the title [YOURNAME-ID NUMBER-JOB TITLE] and attach it to your application in the recruitment system, available here.
